GOAL 1: Exceed Canada’s commitments under the Paris Accord

The University has a role to play in continuing to demonstrate what is possible in Manitoba. We can begin to mainstream renewable energy installations in our province while continuing to achieve deep emission reductions. Electricity rates are projected to go up considerably in the years ahead and carbon pricing is also expected to drive up the price of natural gas.

TARGET 2: Aim for 5% of total energy use on campus to be derived from unconventional renewable energy sources (solar, geothermal, wind, sustainable biomass) by 2025.

TARGET 3: Establish baseline for key scope 3 (emissions that occur as a consequence of operations, but not owned or controlled by the University – i.e. air travel) by 2017, report annually on them moving forward, and set a reduction target by 2018.
